Awesome food, awesome venue , awesome view
Chef's Table
My husband and I were lucky enough to secure a seat at a recent Chef's Table evening. It was such a unique experience and the food, service and overall concept of the evening were just brilliant. Chef Aaron is an absolute natural in the kitchen and the passion he has for cooking is evident in everything he does - it was great seeing him in his element within the main hotel kitchen. I would definitely recommend booking yourself a seat at the next Chef's Table- it is well worth it. Aside from this, we have dined at North on several occasions with friends and family for breakfasts, lunches and dinners. We have always found the food and service to be nothing short of amazing.
Amazing food with a view
The food is always amazing and the staff go that extra mile as I am a picky eater. Great place to celebrate birthdays
Great food and the view takes your breath away
Went for dinner with the family, kids and extended family. They catered for all effortlessly. The food was amazing and we even got to meet Aaron the Chef. Recommend it to anyone looking for an awesome place to dine with a great view, right on the marina.
